mechanotablets...

I'm stuck now on the 4th mission, we couldnt find the NPC in Illsalin that Belffast asks you to, Nerwan Sporestomp.

Just did this mission tonight. I fully enjoy DoD missions, but this one is stupid. You get virtually no information on how to do this except for how it's started, and then you have to discover all this stuff magically. Nerwan is in a cocoon in the NW part of the zone BTW. The second part of it you're supposed to "explode" over to the across the broken bridge. If you have lev on you're screwed though because you just move a little. Once you're over there you need to kill the Alchemist, but he only spawns after killing 40 mobs. Nowhere in the task window is this stated however. The upside is, while there is a 5th mission, it's bugged in such a way where you can get the fire resist clicky from the fortune teller after the 4th mission because it thinks you're done with the arc. (Provided you've done 1-3 also)

is that the generic -20% mana one? if so then the last blood one did get upgraded, but is waiting for patch (scheduled wed) a bunch of the last blood got an upgrade last wed. (up on test... but no-one on test has one... so won't see until live patch)

pres of mith is 20% off beneficial spells only (degrades on lvl 68+ spells to 14% off of lvl 70 spells)

Conservation of Xeg is the general one which is 20% off of all but degrades the same. Don't think there's currently an upgrade to that focus that doesn't degrade though so I figured it's the price you pay for covering all spells in one slot

Maybe a bit off topic, but somewhat related and I didn't see it mentioned anywhere else...after a research combine using the holepoker, does the holepoker 'poof' like the AAAA or is it retained, no matter a success or failure? Have reached the stage of searching out a researcher for this combine and if the holepoker poofs, I am going to cry. I'll do the AAAA 40 times with a smile on my face than to do that holepoker again! :P

[Ngreth Thergn]

Holepoker is not consumed.

Just varifying. Coadjutor Mechanotablet is no longer used for pet focus? Looking at a vendor with it and its still marked TS. Wasnt sure if the fix for this was implimented yet or not.

Last Blood of the Advisor was changed from pres of mith to Avariciousness of the Ikaav ( bene MP 20% to lvl 70 ) last patch

Does anyone know if the Mechanotablets make a lower level focus if you make a lower level aug (like Chronal or Bazu or something)?

yes they do, every aug has a foci that is defined by the mechano tablet, % on that foci is defined by the stone/seal

edit: the reason we dont see the "lesser" augs is there realy not worth the time put into it unless one is unable to gain access to higher stuff (and shyla is realy dammed easy)

I see that Bazu Seal of Baleful Breezes (from deleterious radiation tablet) has Avariciousness of the Aneuk that gives 20% mana pres to Detrimental up to lvl 70...so why cant the Salutary radiation tablet give 20% beneficial mana pres up to lvl 70 on a Bazu stone as well, instead of Pres of Mithanial up to lvl 67?

[Mellen]

bazu and last blood seem to be the same lvl of focus. If the bazu bene mana pres is still pres of mith that's probably an error left over from when last blood was the same as well since the bazu imprecise radition should be conservation of xegony which would be the same lvl of mana pres as preservation of mith but covering both types of spells instead of just one
